1. Who we are
Our website address is: https://roguedesigns.me. We are an eCommerce brand specializing in handcrafted jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, and bracelets.
2. What Personal Data We Collect and Why
- Order & Account Information: When you create an account or make a purchase, we collect your name, billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number. This allows us to process your orders, calculate shipping, and send you “Processing Order” or “Completed Order” updates.
- Comments & Reviews: When logged-in users leave product reviews or comments, we collect the data shown in the form, plus the IP address and browser user agent to assist in spam detection through WP Armour and other automated services. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it.
- Media: If you upload images to the website (such as for customer reviews), you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included, as other visitors can download and extract that data.
- Marketing (Newsletters): If you opt-in via our popup forms, we collect your name and email address for our MailPoet newsletters. You can opt-out at any time using the “Unsubscribe” link in those emails.
3. Payments & Security
We take the security of your personal and financial information seriously. roguedesigns.me is protected by SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption to ensure that all data passed between our web server and your browser remains private and integral. Your trust is our priority, and we use industry-standard encryption to protect your billing and shipping details during the checkout process.
We do not store your full credit card details on our servers. All financial transactions are processed securely through industry-leading encrypted gateways: Stripe or PayPal. These providers receive only the information necessary to confirm payment, verify your identity, and manage potential refunds. Their use of your personal information is governed by their respective Privacy Policies.
4. Cookies
In addition to standard comment cookies, we use cookies for the following purposes:
- eCommerce Tracking: We use cookies to keep track of cart contents while you are browsing our site.
- MailPoet: Cookies are used to ensure you do not see the same signup popup multiple times if you have already dismissed it.
- Login Persistence: If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. When you log in, we will set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for 30 days. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
5. Who We Share Your Data With
We only share your information with trusted third-party services required to operate our shop:
